Back in Chad's room he was sitting on his bed listening in on the communicator Angel had given him with the volume truned down low. "So you can hear her but she can't hear you right" Said Ichigo as he sat on his window seal. Chad nodded his head. "So she gave that to you" He asked. Chad nodded his head again. "She said only when I need her" He said. "Sooo Why are you listening in.....this isn't like you Chad" Ichigo asked. "I'm just......I'm worried about them that's all" He said. "What you're worried about if a Hollow shows up" He asked. Chad Nodded his head again. "And yet...what if it's not a hollow......what if it's an Arroncar or an Espada" He asked. "Hmm....they won't be able to survive for very long with an Espada but if it's an Arrancar then who knows" He said. Chad looked down in a worried look. "Hey come on Chad why are you worried about her..I mean I know you like her but you shouldn't get worried about her over something that might or might not happen...............How bout this if we hear that something's wrong over there then we'll rish to their aid and be back here without them noticing" He said. Chad looked at him. "I know what you're gonna say and sometimes they do need to fight without us.....but those Arrancars and Espadas don't take it easy they'll fight them like they would to us and the girls will fight them with all they've got But sometimes they'll get into situations where they need someone to aid them.............Kinda like the damzel in distress thing or a knight saving the princess from a dragon but those are fairy tails This is real life" Ichigo explained. Chad looked at him then looked at the communicator smiling softly as he heard Agnel's voice from the communicator. "So Shiki Truth or Dare" Rukia asked. "Truth Duh" She replied. "Ok.....Is it True......That YOU.....like Chad" She asked as everyone leaned in tward her as Angel leaned away from them blushing madly. "W-why ask s-such a question l-like that" She asked. "Answer it and tell the honest Truth" Said Oriheme. Chad's eyes widend a little. "Whoa that was unexpected coming from Rukia's mouth" said Ichigo who was now sitting becide Chad infront of the coimmunicator. Angel looked down as she continued to blush. "ooooooooooooooh She's blushing" Said Rosa. "That means that she soooo likes him" Said Oriheme as she smiled. "I DON'T like him" She said. Chad's eyes widened. "wait....she's not finished" Said Ichigo. "I......I love him.....more then anything in this whole world.....but this damn rule says that I can't have a human as a borfriend only either a Soul Reaper or anouter Angel............but I'm thinking on breaking just that one rule even if the punishment is death to me by the sokyoku" She said as she looked down at her necklace. Chad's eyes widened a little more as he blushed madly. Ichigo looked at him and smiled. "it's no wander you talk a little more then normal" he said. Chad looked at him. "What do you mean" he asked. Earlier when we were talking on the phone....you talked alot more then normal.....and now I know why" he said. Chad smiled. Ichigo's eyes widned. "HOLY SHIT Since when did you start smiling like that I've never seen you smile so......so calming before" he said. Chad smirked. "Let's just say that Angel's opened a door in my heart that's been locked up for who knows how long" He said as he looked back at the communicator as he heard Rosa's voice. "Kisuke told me that you and I are a different kind of Angel.....We're guardian Angels.....When you recieved that necklace from the tooth angel she was saying that the person that has that exact same symbol somewhere on his body or wearing it it means that you are that person's 'guardian angel'.....And you are Chad's guardian agnel.......it means that you have to protect him with your life" Rosa explained. "but here's one MORE thing........That tattoo he has and that necklace you have are one....meaning if you're hurt then his tattoo will let him know that you are in trubble....the same will happen when he's in trubble you're necklace will let you know that he's hurt" Said Rukia. "That's what I was gonna say....how did you know that Rukia" Said Rosa. "it's a LONG story" She said. "Tell us" Said Angel. "Alright......as long as YOU tell us what you are Shiki" Said Rukia. "You got it" Said Angel.
As she told the story Angel's eyes widened. "So you knew about me all this time" She asked. "I wasn't sure if you were the one........but judging by your spiritual pressure you had to be not human" Rukia explained. "So all soul reapers know who and what I really am.............and the head captian is looking for me, Rosa, and the other angel" she said. Rukia noded her head. "But I'm not sure what the head captian wants you for he never told any of us...only his captians............Rangiku did Hitsugaya tell you anything" Rukia said. "No not that I know of" She replied. Sophie's eyes widend as she looked at Angel. "Why didn't you tell ME that you were an Angel Shiki" She said. "Cause even I didn't know Sophie...I'm sorry" She said. "So what's your REAL name if it's not Shiki then" She asked. "My name's Angeleena...Angela for short" Angel replied. "Figures" She said. "Please don't be mad at me....................I can sence that you have a high spiritual pressure like mine" She said. "now that you mention it everyone's been sencing a large number of high spiritual pressures lately that's why my captian and I are here investigating" Said Rangiku. "What could that mean" Rukia asked. "Well Head captin yamamoto JUSt discovered that there are a couple more Grim Reapers then just that one that's still in hiding" She replied. Rukia's eyes widened. "But I thought that there was only one left" She said surprisingly. "they found out there there's a whole family of them in Karakura Town that live not too far from the river" She said. "Hmm.......Kiskue told me that Grim Reapers and Angels are suposed to be enemies......maybe I can try to reason with them and we could probibly have a peace treaty" Suggested Angel. "I don't think that's a good Idea I mean in the past Grim reapers have killed Angels by their seiths for no reason at all except for that they just plan hate them" Said Rangiku. Chad's eyes widened. "I guess it's best if we protect her and her sister and find the third angel huh" Said Ichigo. Chad noded his head. "Listen Angel......what you said earlier.....about the rule.......the head captin and your head mistress created those rules...........If you brake just one rule then......you'll either be executed or bannished forever" Said Rangiku. "that's a risk I'm willing to take" She replied. "But how would Chad feel if he lost you...........how do you think WE'D feel if we lost you" Rukia asked. "Yeah Chad how WOULD you feel if you lost her" Ichigo asked. "You know how I'd feel Ichigo" Chad said as he looked down in sadness. "Hey.......There is one thing you can do when you two get together" Ichigo asked. Chad looked at him. "Protect her with your life just as she's doing for you I mean isn't there a reason that your bedrooms are accross from eachothers' appartments" He said. "There can be many reasons why our rooms are accross from eachothers'" Chad said. "True but they're has to be a MAIN reason......is it to see her getting dressed" he said with a sly look on his face. "WHAT NO............it's nothing like that" He said surprisingly as he looked at Ichigo laughing. "Well I'm heading to bed ladies and we all should cause it's alredy four in the morning and I'm bushed" Said oriheme as she cuddled up in her futon. "Alright Night Everyone I'm gonna stay up for a little while longer" Angel said. 'Alright that's fine" Said oriheme just before she fell asleep. After a few minutes everyone said their goodnights and everyone but Angel was asleep. She went up on the roof with her communicator.
"I should get goin and you should get some sleep it's already like four in the morning and it sounds like most of the girls are goin to bed and Angel's one of them" Said Ichigo as he got up. "night Chad" He said as he jumped out the window. Chad looked at Ichigo jumping out of the window but after when he had left he heard Angel calling his name on the Communicator. "Tora......you asleep yet" She asked quietly. "No.....I can't sleep" He said. "Is something bothering you........you know you can tell me about it" She said. She looked forward and seen his appartment. "Hey I can see your appartmetnt from here" She said as she smiled. "What do you mean" he said. "I'm on the roof of the house silly....just look out your bedroom window and look to your right" She said. Chad did what he was told and looked out to the right of his window. he saw her on Oriheme's roof waving at him. he waved back. "told ya......You should get some rest alright...I'll keep my communicator on all night should you need me alright cause if you do then I'll just fly right over......you know that right" She said. "Yeah I know" he said as he smiled. "Well I shiould get to sleep....You sure you don't want to talk about what's bothering you" She asked. "............I'll tell you when you come home you should sleep" he said. "alright....Night Tora" She said. "Goodnight Angel" He said as they both climbed into their beds. "I love you........My Angel" He wispered softly to himself as he fell asleep. Her eyes widened as she blushed. Then laid down in her futon as she smiled and went to sleep. The next morning all the girls woke up to the smell of bacon, sausage, and eggs. "morning everyone" Angel said as she peacked in from the kitchen. "Angela you don't have to do that" Oriheme said as she yoaned. "it's alright I love cooking things" she replied. "Mmmmm Something smells good" said Tatsuki. "I'm making egg and cheese omlets with bacon and if spme people don't like bacon I made sausages too" she said. "Looks like someone's the cook of the family" Said Rangiku. "Not yet I'm still learning from my sister but I will be someday" She said. "When you have your own kids" Asked oriheme. "I dunno......maybe" She replied. "MORNING AUNTIE ANGELA" Said Alejandra as she pounced on her. Surprisingly she didn't drop a single egg from the pan. "Aw man I was hoping you would drop something on the ground" She said. "for me that would be ALMOST Impossible" She said as she smiled. "Why's everyone in the kitchen" Said Ururu as she smelt the eggs. "Someone's decided to be the momma of us and cook everyone breakfast" Said Rukia. "Oh Shut up" Angel said as she blushed. "if I let Oriheme cook the food then we would all have food poisoning or something" She thought. "HEY I KNOW since we'll have left overs why don't you take some to Chad i'm sure he'll love it" Said Rosa. "I should shouldn't I He must be hungry I have to leave pretty soon anyway" She replied. "it's like the saying 'the only way to get to a man is through his stumich'" Said oriheme. "Oriheme come on it's not like that" She said as she blushed. All the girls laughed. After the girls ate breakfast Ururu, Rosa, Alejandra and Angel said their goodbyes and left. Angel droped off Rosa and Ururu off at Kisuke's and they headed home. When Angel went into her room She heard Chad lightly and softly snoring in his room. She smiled and flew over to him with the plate of food in her hands. She smiled as she saw his calm face as he slept. "he's cute when he's asleep" She thought and set the food on the nightstand. "I'll just leave that there for him when he wakes up" She thought as she was about to leave his room when she looked at him. ".....Ah what the hell I'll just stay here and see if I can scare him a little" She thought as she quietly glided over to him and pint down till she was eye level to his and put her face close to his. When he woke up a few seconds later he saw her face and jumped back a little. She giggled. "Morning sleepy head" She said. "Angel......What are you doing here" he asked. "I came to give you something but you were still asleep so I thought I'd stay here untill you wake up. She gave him the plate of food. "I made a little too much so I braught you some.....I made it all by myself........truthfylly it's alot better then hat Oriheme would've made" She said. He sat up and she gave him the food. he tasted the egg and his eyes widened. "do you not like it" She asked sadly. "No It's not that....This is the best I've tasted" He said as he smiled. "YEAY" She cheered. He looked at her and chuckled. "Someone's hyper this morning" He said as he continued to smile. She looked at him and smiled widely back. "now Tell me What was bothering you last night.....you looked upset" She asked as she sat next to him. "it was nothing........I was just remembering about my Abuelo and my parents" He said. "Hmmmm Tora what have I told you time and time again" She said as she stood up and tapped her foot gently and crossed her arms. "'to stop thinging about the past'" He phrased. "'And start thinking about the future to come'" She finished. She sat back down. "You need to learn to be more cheerful.......I know why don't we take a walk today.....Alejandra's birthday's comeing up soon and I was thinking on getting her a puppy or a kitten I already asked Maria and she said it was ok Come on whaddya say.......it'll be just the two of us this time" She begged. he looked at her then smiled. "Alright" he said. "YEAY" She cheered as she hugged him tightly. When he finished eating he got dressed as Angel waited in the living room sitting on the chair hoding her legs together. When he came out he was waring his usual pink and red hawaiian shirt and jenes. She looked at him and smiled. "You look great......althought....You still have a little bit of bedhead...hear let me help" She said as she put some water on his hair comb and started combing it.
When she was done she put his comb down. "There all done now you look handsome" She said. When she realized what she had just said she blushed. He looked at her and smiled then gave her a gentle noogie. "Thank you" he said. "Come on let's go" she said. he nodded his head. "Yeah" He said gently as he looked at her. He smiled at how pretty she looked. he had never seen her in a skirt becides her uniform mini skirt. "You look......Pretty" he said. "what oh this.....I've had it for awhile but I never had a chance to ware it yet...............normally I'm not a skirty or a dressy girl but it's the only clean thing I have right now" She explained. "But still....You look pretty" He said again. She looked at him and blushed. They headed out the door and headed twards the pet store. "let's see i can't decide on weather to get her a puppy or a kitten" She said as she thought. "They drove in right" He asked. "yeah why" She asked. "So we sholdn't get one that would take up alot of space" he explained. "your right............Come on We're here" She said as they walked to the door of the pet store. They looked at every kitten and every puppy in the stpre but they couldn't find the one king of pet Alejandra wanted. "Hmm....this is gonna be hard" She thaught. "Angel......Look at these" Chad said as he motioned her over. She walked over to where Chad was and seen a kitten and a huskey puppy who where smaller then the others playing with eachother away from their brothers and sisters. "Awww how cute" She said as she started petting the kitten. "She has soft fur and the pup has eyes like a type of dog that would protect it's master from any kind of harm" She said. "Those two are seporated from their brothers and sisters because they don't seem to want to be away from eachother so we put them over here in the clearence area and they're the runts of their litters" Said the klerk. "How much for them sir" She asked. "Hmm......twenty-five yen each" Said the klerk. "you think Alejandra would like them Tora" She asked as she looks at him. He nodded his head as he smiled. "I'm sure she'll love them" He said. "We'll get them" She said. "excelent choise cause these two are special ones" he said as he picked both of them up. He gave them shots and De-clawd and Spaid/newterd the two pets then put them in both in a medium sized box with holes in it. Angel baught everything Alejandra would need to take care of them then she paid for everything. It came up to 100 yen. they left the store and walked away. "So where do you want to go" She asked. "Wherever you want" He said. "Well first I have to drop these off at mom's.......Maria, Jesus, and Alejandra won't be home they took her out to lunch as an early birthday present" She said as they walked back to the appartments. "You can come in if you like no one's ho-" She said as she walked into the door but then sudenly noticed that the door had been open.
She looked inside it and seen that the whole house had been wreaked. "Oh no" She said as her eyes widened. She looked all around but has seen that the intrueder had taken everything that was valuble to her mothers. "Tora search for mom she's the only one who hasn't left the house all day I'm gonna go check if the intruder's still here" She said as she getnly laid down her bags and ran up the stairs. Chad looked all over the bacement untill he came into the kitchen. in the kitchen lying on the floor was Angel's mother with blood all around her. She had been stabed to death. but there becide her body was her soul standing there freightened. "What happened" He asked. "Get away Yasutora or He'll kill you he's still in the house somewhere upstairs" She said. Chad's eyes widened. "That's where Angel is" He said. Just then he heard Angel scream. He ran up the stairs. When he got to her room he saw the intruder holding Angel hostage with the knife he used to kill her mother. "If you do as I say I won't kill her but should you disobey me then I'll slit her throught got that" he said. "Tora fight back" she said as she struggled to break free. "Let her go" He said as he made a fist with his hands. "What acting like a tough guy" said the Intruder. "Ohhhh I think he's tougher then you think" Angel teased him. "You think you're so tough then try THIS" he said as he pushed Angel aside and attacked Chad. He stabed him in the stumich but Chad just stood there with no emotion on his face. He grabed the intruder by his shoulders and picked him up. "Leave this place and NEVER come back" he said angerly making the intruder shiver with fear. When Chad put him down he ran away screaming. he looked at him as he ran away. "he shouldn't come back here again" He said. "Thanks Tora" She said. She looked at his wound on his stumich. "That wound looks deep.....we should fix it before it gets infected...........And I know just the thing" She said. "It's fine Angel" he said. "Don't lie I can see very well that that wound is deep..............idiot" She said as she unbuttoned the last four buttons on his shirt. She used one of her 'Angel's tears' on the wound but it didn't work. "hmm...I thought that would work........well we have two other options then" She said. just then she kissed the wound and it started to glow as it disappeared. "There All healed" She said as she looked at him. his eyes were wide but he hid them from her as he blushed slightly. "Did you find my mom anywhere" She asked worriedly. "I did.....but....She's been....." he said sadly as he looked at her. Her eyes widened. "W-was her chain of fate still connected to her body" She asked him. He nodded his head no. "I'm sorry........but she's still here downstairs....in the kitchen's where I found her....but I wouldn't go down there right now....it might be a too big of a shock to you" he said as he looked down. Tears started to fill up in her eyes but hid them. He put his hand on her head. "You don't have to hide your tears from me anymore" He said as he picked her up and set her on his lap. She looked at him as the tears start to roll down her cheecks then she laid her head on his shoudler as she cried into it. He hugged her tightly as she did to him. "First dad........now eight years later mom's gone too" She cried. they stayed like that for about an hour untill she was strong enaugh to go downstairs. "What should we tell your sister" He asked. "I'll have to clean up the mess before they get home and make it look like the intruder never came" she said sadly. "I'll help you" He said. She looked up at him and smiled ever so slightly but sadly. "Even when someone you know and love has passed on no one will ever replace them in your heart.....it leaves a big empty hole in your heart for a number of years....untill you meet someone that is somehow able to fill that hole with happiness" He exclaimed. She smiled a little more then looked down as she blushed slightly. "Sometimes you say things at the best moments" She said. He looked at her blushing then smiled and put his hand on her head. "You always tell me to cheer up and to leave he past behind me........It's hard to do that......but whenever you're around.......it's easy" he said as he started to blush as he spoke. She smiled a little more then looked down as she blushed a little more. "I'm glad I'm a little more help to you then I thought I was" She said.
Just then she saw her mother's soul in the kitchen by the window looking throught it. Her eyes widened as she saw that her Chain of Fate indeed has been severed. "M-mother" She said. She turned around and smiled. Welcome home sweety..I had a feeling you would be able to see me................I always knew since you were ten that you've always been able to see souls of people....So can your sister......but she can't see them as clearly as you can" She said. "Mother....it's because I have something strong called a Spiritual pressure....we all have spiritual pressures but of different streanths.....if one has a low spiritual pressure then they can't see things like you.....when daddy died in the car wreack I always wondered why I survived it but he didn't" She said. "It's probibly because of those wings that you have" said her mother. "my wings........Wait a minute how did you know I have wings' She said as sher eyes widened. "They've came out once before..........but it was when you were very small" Said her mother. "You mean.......the wings have come out before" She asked. Her mother nodded her head yes. "It was when you were six and then they came out a second time when you were nine...........the day your father died......and you survived" she said. her eyes widnened. "So you knew.......All along that Angel wasn't human" Chad asked. She noded her head yes. "I tried to tell her but.....She was happy the way she was................but there's also something else that you should know" She said. "What is it mother" Angel asked. "That Sophie girl.....I get a very bad feeling from her.............I'm not sure why but........I do" She exclaimed. "but mother she's my friend what do you want me to do Stop hanging out with her" Angel said starting to get a little angery. "no it's not that........I just get this odd feeling about her that I don't trust.............Just be very careful around her from now on alright.....I must leave now before your sister gets home" She said. "Alright mother....I will" she said as she seen her mother walking away. Tears began to form in her eyes once more as her mother left, but then she felt Chad's arm wrap around her pulling her close to him. "it's alright" He said. "Should we have Ichigo do a Konso on her" She asked. He looked at her. "Before she turns into a hollow we should" A voice replied. They turned around to see Ichigo in his Soul Reaper Kimono and Rukia standing next to him. They seporated quickly. "When did you guys-" Angel asked before she was interupted by Rukia. "We heard what happened......And we're sorry for your loss of your mother Angel" She said. "It's alright....She just left the house" Angel said. "We know I'm on it" Said Ichigo as he jumped out of the window and chased after Angel's mother. "What did your mother mean by....a bad vibe from Sophie" She asked. "I'm not sure Rukia" She replied. "Truthfully......I think your mother's right........I too have been feeling a bad vibe from her.....We should be careful around her she reaks of a hollow's scent" She said. "Now that you mention it I do smell hollow on her" She replied. "But that can't be she's a human like Tora, Oriheme, and Ichigo" Angel said. "But Ichigo's also part soul reaper because of when he first met me remember" Said Rukia. "Yeah I remember" She replied. "'Tora' huh is that suposed to be a nickname you gave for Chad" Said Rukia suspitiously. Angel Tenced up and blushed madly then looked away from both Rukia and Chad. Chad blushed but hid it with his bangs. "I'll take that as a yes" She said as she laughed as she saw her two friends blushing.
